Revision Rhinoplasty options

Hi, I am sorry to see you have had this kind of results. Yes you have an asymmetric tip and a polly beak. Unfortunately you do have to wait about 12 months to get a proper revision rhinoplasty. There are no "best" surgeons but there are plenty of excellent surgeons who concentrate their practice on Rhinoplasty and Revision Rhinoplasty and who can help you or patients like you. It can be corrected and improved.

Polly beak and tip asymmetry

Revision rhinoplasty needs

You will need to have the tip revised. You need to wait a noter 6 months or more to allow all swelling to go down so that you are not under or over corrected. You will need the polly beak reduced, your septum straightened and tip made more symmetrical. Good lick!

Revision rhinoplasty

At 12 weeks it is too early to perform a revision. You need to wiat until the swelling dissipates and the tissues soften. This usually takes about 12 months or so.
